Service Design Review (SDR)

Identify the 'Service Gap' before you freeze tooling. We conduct forensic physical teardowns to find routing failures and hidden margin-killers before mass production.

The Ugly Truth

Skipping an SDR guarantees high warranty burn. If you freeze a hardware design without validating service access, your R&D engineers will spend the next two years acting as field technicians because third-party vendors won't be able to fix it.

Exact Deliverables & Methodology

The Service Design Review (SDR) is a highly forensic, physical engineering audit executed prior to your final design freeze to intercept Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) bottlenecks.

Phase 1: Forensic Teardown

We execute a complete mechanical disassembly of one (1) physical, production-equivalent device, mapping the physical friction of reaching your top 5 highest-risk Field Replaceable Units (FRUs).

Phase 2: The "Red Flag" Report (REP-SDR-001)

You receive a strict, regulatory-grade engineering dossier detailing:

  • Downtime Metrics: Exact MTTR calculations based on fastener count and loom obstruction.
  • Mandatory Interventions: Actionable CAD revisions required prior to tooling (e.g., trapped cables, blinded captive nuts).
  • Special Tooling Demands: Identification of proprietary jigs required for sub-assembly alignment.

Phase 3: Executive ECO Debrief

A comprehensive video conference with your R&D leadership to present physical evidence and agree on Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) before commercial scale-up.

Who This Service is NOT For

Digital-only SaMDs or Blind Audits. Schema Technical operates strictly within physical hardware liability. We do not conduct SDRs purely from CAD files. Assessing cable flex, tolerance stacking, and ergonomics requires physical bench access. If you cannot provide a physical prototype, we cannot audit it.

Transparent Commercials

SDR fees are strictly bounded by mechanical complexity to protect project velocity.
